The obvious sign of a faulty reversing light is the bulb not lighting up when the vehicle reverses. However, a dim or intermittent light can demonstrate the bulb is close to the end of its lifespan or there may be a loose wire. You may also notice dashboard warnings if your car is modern, or a broken reverse light may remain illuminated even if youíre not reversing. Although a faulty reverse light bulb wonít instantly cause you to fail your MOT, it does increase the chance of your vehicle being involved in a road accident as it can mislead other drivers.
Reversing your car is considered a high-risk manoeuvre, so carrying it out without reversing lights furthers the chance that you could collide into something. Especially if youíre reversing in the dark, reverse lights light up the background so that the driver can spot obstacles and pedestrians more easily. Reverse light bulbs also warn other road users, drivers and pedestrians that your vehicle is backing up, allowing for quicker reactions.
The first step to selecting the correct reverse light bulbs is consulting your ownerís manual which should explain the specific reverse bulb type required. Alternatively, you can check your old bulbís base type or use our handy car bulb finder tool. Enter your registration number and receive a list of tailored reverse light bulbs for your vehicle.
